oali whom it may concern.: l

Be it'known that ANDREW BURGESS, of Uwego, in the county or' TiogztvontiState of New York, have invented anew and useful Iniliro'ven'ient inMagazine FireArnis, ot' which the tollen-fing, n connection with'theeeeonr penying drawings, is it specification:

My `inventionreletes to that class ot" arms in which@ reciproca-ting'bolt is moved by oi lever; and consists, principally, of the look` ingand ejeoting devices, together with the general arrangement'eml'eombinetiou of parts hereinafter niore fully set forth anddeseriberi.

Ve, the spring-fulerunr on which 'the ievelr turns 5 e, the carrier; andn, is zur incline to guide up the Melting-shoulder of thelever inclosing the breech, l

The breech-holt B is arranged in the freine ofthe erm to more beek andforward free! The lever L is pivoted to the boit et p, and extendsdownward. end ,reamierd to engage the looking-shoulder m., which is esegment drewn from the pivot@ es its eenter, so that when the ier-'er ismoved 'iorwerd to roteteon its pivot p it turns oii from the segment'insbefore the holt starts Vto open; but :is eoon'es the loehingehonhierreaehes and begins to :nove down the ineiine n the boit will he i'oreedbeek by the bearing of the iever against the niernm s, (Whose springwill have been first compressed by the unlocking' movement of the leven)and es the bolt moves backward the lever wiii eiiaie down the ledge n asit'epproaehes e vertical position to allow its pivoter?L end to per;take of the longitudine-i movement. of the bolt lont.v when `the lei-'er'passes the vertical position it begins to rise and slide upward on.itsfulerum e to the position shown in Fig. 2, and the erect-or l e risesthrough the slot in front of the holt,

and, Striking the heeft ot,the cartridge-eheh, (which is clasped. by theextractor ege-inet the top oi' the stud d, as Shown in Fig. 31,) thespring is first-Compressed by bearing against the resisting shell, whenthe ejector wilireeeh it positive bearing to start the shell, when thereaction of' its spring will epei it from the arm.

1n the letter part oi Jthe eeehwnrrl more nient. of the holt it raisesthe carrier by striking its erin c, enti the carrier is heid. in itsraised position by the reel* etrtritlge in the magazine or the toilower,they being presseta bneliwzirri by the magazine-spring; against andpartly under the incline 'i on the bottoni. et the cai-trier, as shownin dotted iines, Fig. 2.

in closing the breech, the ierige n serres as, ai'nieruin and to guidethe ioeiringsiitmlder of the lever up to the segment et,

A. shoulder, j', on the lever, end'ahove its pivot, withdraws thetiring-pin in openingthe breeeh,a1id serves to stop its inli advancenntil the breech is looked, so that the point et 'the firing-pin cannotstrike the primer until the lever rotates rh-r enough to look againstthe force of zt discherge,` l

rEhe spring-stuft e, beetles serving es e fob eruin in opening thebre-eeh, also holds the lever up in its ioeke position, end @loses theopening in front of seid lever.

Having thus deseriberl my invention, 'what I ehtiin es new',enfl desireto secure by Let ters ietent, is-- l.. rEhe combination of e'reeiproeeting boit, e vibra-ting lever pivot-eti thereto, enti' thefreine-or reeirer having: e loeiriiig-ehonhier below 11nd. to the reel'of thebnrre lend. e e pport above the holt, so that the .lei-er ioeheIthe boit against the upper support, es forth.

The spring-slide s, arranged et the botA tem of the eran tol eiose theopening in firent of the ever, to hohl the lever op in its loehedpositionfenii serve es e ulermn to open. the

with @he prfope'lingsprug and follower of me magazin@ to hold. up thecarrier, :su )stantnly as described.
